Please give me a link where Yahoo says that paid inclusion doesn't get sites listed higher. Until you do, you seem to be stating your assumptions as fact.
"Receive detailed click-through reports with rank, query volume, and keyword capture"
I'd be very surprised if Yahoo doesn't give these sites a ranking boost, because a site that pays $10,000 a year to have 400 pages included in the index won't renew if they find that most of their pages are on the 3rd or later page of search results, and Yahoo won't want to lose that revenue.
There's nothing on Yahoo's site that says they don't bias results for those who pay, and you can bet if the search results were unbiased, they'd be shouting it from the rooftops, like Google does:
"Google does not sell placement within the results themselves (i.e., no one can buy a higher PageRank)."
Finally, if said publisher, after using paid inclusion, decides to not renew after a year's inclusion, their rank would go down. It would have to, or else why would they continue to pay Yahoo in the first place? Most product pages aren't updated every day or even every week, so paying tens of thousands of dollars for 48-hour updates isn't realistic.
If not paying for your link causes your rank to drop, then you're paying for placement.
Perhaps you should look up the definition of a 'milestone'. It's a marker by the side of the road, indicating the passing of a cognitive reference point (mile, or other round measure).
a quick search says that on a sale of a CD, the artist gets about 8 cents.
from the 99 cent iTunes download they get about 11 cents per song.
Apple gets about 35 cents per song.
In both cases, the RIAA/Record companies get the rest.
First off, record labels and the RIAA aren't the same thing. Record labels choose to support the RIAA. It's not like the RIAA has a tap into a percentage of each album or song sold.
Second, in these meticulous calculations, where do record stores come in? Manufacturing costs? Advertising?
That said, I''m strongly opposed to the RIAA and most record labels, but pushing around naive napkin calculations as fact hurts your viewpoints more than it helps.
Now that we've established that the article mistakenly talked about annual rotation instead of daily rotation, it seems plausable that a smaller rotational intertia is to credit.
If the core settled down even a tiny bit, so heavier elements rested slightly closer to the core, the planet's axial rotation would speed up like an ice skater pulling in their arms.
Alternatively, the wearing down of mountains (buildings?) could have the same effect.
If the Earth is speeding up, perhaps the terrorists have already won.
Someone submits a rumor too two rumor boards, they report it, look at each other and say 'if they're reporting it too, then it's probably true!"
c|net and others write 'could be...' stories, and then one Macophilic reporter at a random paper (in this case, 'This is London', that bastion of Mac integrity?) writes that Apple 'has announced' the thing, though they say its 'unveiling' will be in a week.
Then Slashdot comes in and says the rumors are now probably true because an 'established paper' claims it as fact.
Notice from the President There has recently been a slight increase in customer activity and Signalogic now has several projects pending and a few new ones active. Because of this we are looking for embedded system engineers. However, based on a few recent interviews, I feel the need to explain the situation to people who may not have realized yet just how competitive the engineering field has become in 2 years, and how many U.S. jobs are moving permanently overseas to India, China, Russia, and other locations. Many engineering jobs, especially ones with specialized requirements and straightforward performance measurement, simply are not coming back, regardless of what the various economic experts and pundits happen to think.
Below are some requirements; please read carefully. You need to be 100% comfortable with these before even considering to apply at Signalogic. Your resume must be accompanied by a cover letter that includes 3 or so paragraphs which explain clearly and thoughtfully why you are suitable and why you meet the requirements. Otherwise, you will receive no response from Signalogic one way or another regarding your resume and any other information that you might send to us.
Skills. You must be able to perform expertly at least TWO (2) of the skills listed below: * complex logic design, including high-speed signal integrity, simulation, skilled at Verilog and VHDL development, including multi-programmer approaches to project development, knowledge of Xilinx and Altera tools * complex (up to 14 layer) board design including advanced component identification and specification, schematic capture, guidance and specification of layout process, and communication with PCB fab * microprocessor and DSP programming, BOTH, including advanced algorithms, IDEs such as CCS and CodeWarrior, assembly language programming, peripheral drivers, and peripheral and other hardware-level debug * low-level drivers under WinXP, Linux, or Win9x for boards that you design or debug * interface library (e.g. DLL or shared object) software development
We are willing to teach you skills listed above other than the two or more that you already know.
Salary level. If you seek year-2000 or prior salary levels, then you will be disappointed with our offer. Regardless of how many years of experience you have, if you cannot perform ALL of the items listed above, then our offer to you will be in the 45 to 65k range, and no higher.
At each of the skill items listed above I am expert, and currently I have NO salary. Plus I work 14 hrs per day, and another 16 hrs on the weekend. Other engineers here also work hard, and they too are experts. Imagine other companies with engineers trying to compete with that, and then multiply that to about 15 or so companies in our market area around the world. That should show you clearly, with no room for doubt, that for surviving companies who are managing to grow and introduce new products and technology under the current difficult economic conditions, competition is stiff!!! You had better be good if you want a high salary, and you had better be able to prove it to me and other Signalogic staff engineers. Otherwise, don't even think about applying at Signalogic, and certainly do not complain about a low initial offer. If you prove that you are worth a larger salary, then you will be paid a higher salary. That's how it works now, that's how it's going to stay, that's it. This is the 21st century, year-2000 thinking is dead (it was bogus in the first place). I hope we are clear on that subject!
Debug. You must be extremely good at debug. Any engineer can design, only a few are talented enough and sharp enough to debug in a reasonable amount of
In a countersuit to be filed tomorrow, NASA plans to subpoena Orbdev officials under a claim that Orbdev owes NASA $38 million in parking fees for hitching their asteroid to NASA's probe.
An unnamed NASA official claims, "It's [Orbdev's] gravity keeping the thing there. God knows our probe has other places it could be going if it didn't have to drag along this dead weight."
"...which is more important, tourist dollars or the truth?"
How about respecting the dead? Is 'loss of tourism' really the best answer we can come up with to not open up two people's graves (at least one of whom is assuredly not Billy the Kid)?
"pictures that you have taken and hence own the copyright to."
This is key.
Being able to capture, retain, and download pictures is my own DRM system. An encryption scheme that forces me to take my pictures to Ritz is a circumvention of my DRM.
Therefore Ritz is in violation of the DMCA for forcing a circumvention of my DRM, extorting money from the rightful and noble copyright holder.
What, you say Ritz never agreed to my EULA? Sure they did, when it was the first photo I took with the camera. And let's not even think about the violations if they keep a copy of the file.
I assume that, in order to pay proper homage to the nature of the migration from radio to books for the original series, they'll rip the three new books apart and rearrange them in seemingly random order?
(I'm still pissed that the SOBs reordered the Narnia books in current collections. How can you possibly appreciate The Magician's Nephew without having read The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe? Stupidheads.)
Don't you need the path to calculate the signal propagation from the craft back to Earth?
Pah, if you need the path so you can tell how, say, solar wind affects the signal en-route to Earth, then it does become a linear problem. When you consider that solar wind itself has a vector and is constantly changing, then it becomes a squared problem. When you consider that solar wind can't be guaranteed to have a laminar flow and may need a 3D space in order to synthesize its propagation from the sun to the transmission path then you need a 3D space (plus time), so yes, lots of RAM, bankrupt Smith.
It's just used for sensors and communication, but it's a nuclear fuel, and it's goiong to decay whether we use the energy or not. Plutonium's half-life is Plutonium's half-life, and there's not anything we can do about that...
It should be noted that the article's author, Andrew Orlowski, has repeatedly written articles about how awful Google is, citing spurious examples and anecdotal evidence. He's also one of the leading opponents of weblogs, going so far as to deriding weblog-related conferenced he hasn't attended or haven't even taken place yet.
I wouldn't trust anything he has to say about the wisdom of a Google/Microsoft merger.

Thanks!
Are you sure about that? As part of the paid inclusion package, the publisher will:
I'd be very surprised if Yahoo doesn't give these sites a ranking boost, because a site that pays $10,000 a year to have 400 pages included in the index won't renew if they find that most of their pages are on the 3rd or later page of search results, and Yahoo won't want to lose that revenue.

Maybe that's why they're all carrying almanacs!
Now there's one less excuse the airlines can claim for why my flight was late.
Okay, so it's more complex because while 0% of the female progeny will have this gene, 90% of the male progeny will. Hmm.. Interesting...
This won't cause the extinction of the species, it will just reduce one generation's progeny by 90%.
Think about it, the GM gene guarantees that the fish won't reproduce. Darwinism kills these fish off after one generation for exactly that reason.
The 10% of viable offspring don't have this gene, so the next generation is completely untainted, and can repopulate the species.

that only works if it's a patent on spam filtering, not spam circumvention.
Has it occured to anyone that by patenting an anti-anti-spam technique, AT&T can legally forbid spammers from using that technique?'
Yay AT&T. I applaud you.

A sparse matrix also makes a lot less money. Just ask theaters next week when the poor reviews outweigh the sequel buzz.
If we can stop global warming why can't we do anything about this Plutonium business?
We need to donate more to Greenpiece and Ralph Nader.
Yes, because sending $1000 to Nader will make voyager last longer.

Actually, it's a constant, since it doesn't need to retain a simulation of the visited path, but yes, it would make it unfunny.
Also, there would be no judicial system in which Smith would file, nor do Agents use money...
